Gas, a polluting fossil fuel, remains the dominant cooking fuel globally. The\u00a0World Health Organization (WHO)<\/a>\u00a0estimates that 50% of the global population currently relies on gas, including LPG, as their primary cooking fuel, representing\u00a0almost\u00a070% of all urban dwellers and 30% of rural populations. In low- and middle-income countries, the situation is starker, with 3.2 million premature deaths each year from illnesses attributable to the household air pollution caused by cooking with\u00a0solid fuel and kerosene<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Gas use is growing globally, despite decades of scientific, peer-reviewed research that demonstrates that cooking with gas is bad for our health and the climate.<\/p>\n

The gas we burn in our homes releases toxic pollutants including nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde. While many parents today would not expose their children to second-hand cigarette smoke, the effect of gas cooktops on the burden of childhood asthma is comparable to\u00a0the impact of passive smoking in the household<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
